The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce the Club’s NRLW squad for the 2026 Telstra Women’s Premiership season.
Head Coach Steve Georgallis said he was delighted with the depth of the Eels squad assembled for the 2026 campaign.
“The Parramatta Eels’ 2026 squad includes a great mix of international and state representatives featuring a core group of returning players, several exciting new signings, and young women from the Eels Academy embarking on their NRLW journey,” said Head Coach Steve Georgallis.
“The players have returned in excellent condition, and we expect strong competition for positions throughout the year,” he added.
Captain Mahalia Murphy will once again lead the squad, alongside Vice-Captain Abbi Church.
Previously announced new signings to the blue and gold include 2025 Telstra NRLW Premiership winner Keilee Joseph, plus Jayne Herdegen, Layne Morgan and Jasmin Morrissey.
Returning to the squad for 2026 is new mum Kate Fallon, who has re-signed with the Club for the upcoming season.
The Eels have also rewarded five members of the Club’s successful 2026 Tarsha Gale Cup squad with supplementary and development contracts.
The squad will face the Canterbury Bulldogs in a trial match at Eric Tweedale Stadium on Friday, 19 June, with kick-off at 6:15pm. Entry is free for all spectators.
The Parramatta Eels NRLW side will launch its 2026 season in Round 1 against the Wests Tigers at CommBank Stadium on Sunday, 5 July. Kick-off is scheduled for 11:50am as a double header prior to the NRL Eels vs Manly game at 2pm.
